Hey guys, kinda new here and i searched the forums as much as possible and couldnt find my exact answer, i KNOW the stance coilovers drop the lowest but im looking for other options, what coilovers besides stance drop the lowest, pictures would be awesome..thanks!

 

Have you looked through here?

**** So you think your Z/G is LOW? ****

 

yeah i checked it out but not many people list their setup

 

Any reason you don't want the Stances?

 

On Zilvia you'd get thrown to the wolves dripping in blood.

 

You have 4.1 inches before you touch down hard parts while running stock height tires. Most coilovers have the ability to slam your ride.

 

just a little pricey, looking at other options before i dish out 1300 on coilovers

 

so if i were to get megans or d2's i can slam the car? i have 19 inch wheels

 

going for the "HELLAFLUSH" look I see... haha

 

Honestly $1,300 on suspension is not that bad. You may be able to even find a better deal than that through some online vendors, or pick up a used set.

In any case you could probably go decently low on most coilovers.

 

If you're wanting really low and really cheap, why not just use springs?

A used set of Stance are really reasonable & you get what you pay for. If you're going to buy a junk set of coil overs, you might be just as well off with just doing springs or chopped springs.

Or are you wanting really low, really cheap, and bragging rights that you're on coil overs? Just trying to figure out your goals and reasons behind your choices.

BTW, my first set of Stance coils were sub $1k and put my car on the ground and my wheel wells resting on the tires before I adjusted them up… so I'd say they go as low as possible.

For example, a used set currently listed for $900: https://my350z.com/forum/east-canada...coilovers.html

 

Just cut your springs down 5" and drop the car off the jacks as quickly as possible. Should blow out all the shocks.

Result: Hellaflush, yo!

 

Drive a Z that is slammed first.
See if you like it before you go any further.
Go from there.

 

If you're only concern is to go as low as possible and as cheap as possible then Megans or D2's will do the trick

 

my intentions are not too track/race the car nor to drift etc, and i dont want to go hellaflush either, im not into the stretched tire etc, i just want a low drop and thats it, im currently on skunk 2 springs and theyre pretty low but i want something adjustable, something i can raise and lower whenever id like, thats my whole intention on buying coilovers, so i can get a suspension thatll live up to what i paid for.

 

no not hellaflush at all, im not into stretched tires etc, i just want something fully adjustable, something i can lay the frame of the car or raise to stock height, if im paying over 800+ i want something worth that money

 

Budget?

 

used-$500-$900 (depending on condition,miles,brand)
new-up to $1100 max

im not drifting/racing/tracking the car, just for daily driving, not going hellaflush either, just want something that can lower my car to the ground and raise it back to stock when i want too

 

It's a pain in the rear to go in and make adjustments, plus it's going to throw your alignment out of whack when you do. So you'll probably find that you use the adjustments until you find exactly what you like… and you never touch them again.

With that budget and those expectations, you should be fine. I would just suggest you buy something decent and consider the cost/possibility of rebuilds, etc. when you do your comparison shopping. If you're going to keep the car for a while, spend a little more. If you're young (most are likely to change cars faster than us old folks) or go through cars quickly, save your money and go as cheap as you can.

 

yeah thats def what im trying to go for, i usually switch up cars yearly, but for the Z i plan on keeping it for maybe up too 3 years, im currently in college so budget isnt too extreme right now, but just want something that will add a little more touch to my car, so do you think i can go really low on megans,d2's or how about tanabe sustec? i just want something thatll slam the car, no need for something too extreme considering i probably will never put them to their full potential, another reason why im asking is because i usually see people with coilovers saying theyre at the lowest drop and they look as low as my skunk 2 springs and i want to go a tad bit lower than that
